Tamping foundation quality and seizing development opportunities: experience in the standardized, institutionalized and procedural construction of critical care medicine in Xinyang Central Hospital / 中华危重病急救医学

ABSTRACT

Critical care medicine is a relatively young, fast-growing discipline, but it also bears the burden of heavy life. In the past 10 years, critical care medicine has made rapid progress. It has been growing to be mature and complete, its environment and equipment have been improved, and the technical ability has been continuously upgraded. However, the rapid improvement and the diversification of management modes have also brought about some concerns about medical quality. Xinyang Central Hospital is a large prefecture-grade tertiary-class A general hospital in Henan Province. As the director of the department of critical care medicine and the discipline leader of critical care medicine in Xinyang City, the author shared his opinion about how to establish a "standardized, institutionalized and procedural" management model from the perspective of department management in order to ensure medical quality and safety. We should "start from the quality control of critical care medicine, implement the concept of critical care through ward rounds, supervise the quality from the self-examination and self-correction of adverse events", in order to establish a management system for critical care patients and lay a foundation for improving medical quality and sustainable developing of critical care medicine.
